The Country Music Association has expanded its partnership with U.S. Bank. Already a presenting partner for the critically acclaimed CMA Songwriters Series, U.S. Bank will broaden its support by providing resources to music education.

Specifically, the CMA Foundation will partner with U.S. Bank’s existing Places to Play initiative, which creates quality, accessible play spaces in low- to moderate-income communities. In 2018, the new partnership will focus on bolstering music education programs in Cincinnati, Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle.

The CMA Songwriters Series Presented by U.S. Bank will visit these four cities. The Cincinnati show on May 2 will feature Sara Evans, Trent Harmon, Rob Hatch and Eric Paslay performing at Memorial Hall.
